🌹 Rose Giving Friendship in the Skies

[Rosalind Lockwood]

Rose might have vaguely known her second delivery but her third was just annoying. She didn't have to be a genius to figure out it was Nicole's younger brother. She made her way over after she was done talking to Knox, pleased to spot him. "Ryan! Wait up!" She called.

Ryan always forgot how noisy things got when all the rose stuff was going on. He'd decided to retreat back upstairs, hoping things were calmer in the tower when someone called his name, causing him to pause. He hadn't dropped anything that he could tell, and he'd done a good job of making sure his bag had been weened off of eating peoples' robes when he went past, so it probably wasn't that. "Yeah?" He asked warily, turning to the girl and trying to figure out if he knew her. His mind just drew a blank however, beyond the vague familiarity that he felt for anyone who went to their school.

Rose was on her guard for this delivery, but she held out the rose anyway. "I have a delivery for you," She told him, trying to keep her voice level. His sister was awful but she wasn't sure if he was.

Spoiler: Note Said

Ryan had to admit he was surprised when it turned out the girl was there to deliver a rose. Ryan hadn't ever really gotten roses on Valentine's. Nicole had declared back in his first year that they were 'wasted' on him and he had to agree with her. He didn't really see the point of it all. If he had something nice to say to people, he'd just say it.

Still, he took the rose from the girl, ignoring it mostly in favour of opening the note, which was even more unexpected. "Is this.. Art?" He said after a beat of staring at it, trying to make sense of the swirls of colour and turning it around so the girl could see.

Rose peeked at the note as he asked about it, taking a second to study it. "It looks like some sort of flask?" she offered. She only knew a little bit about art, but not much. That was more Rens territory than hers. "Do you have any artist friends?" She asked, thinking it the most likely explanation.

Ryan tilted his head when the girl said it looked like a flask, shrugging in vague acknowledgement, even if he privately thought it just looked like a bunch of swirls. "Artist friends?" He said, blinking a few times as he thought. That was the most obvious solution to who sent it. "Probably my roommate, Finn," he surmised, looking at the painting again and nodding. "I'm sure he's drawing something equally confusing before," he said more confidently, thinking of the swirl-y things he'd seen Finn work on around the dorm.
